Lancia Delta 2011 Owner handbook (in English)

190IN AN EMERGENCY
❍after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check the
tyre pressure again; pull up the handbrake;❍if you get a pressure reading of at least 1.8 bar, restore
the correct pressure (with engine running and hand-
brake on) and continue your journey;
❍drive with the utmost care to the nearest Lancia Deal-
ership.
Apply the adhesive label in a position
clearly visible by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the quick
repair kit. Drive carefully, particularly on bends.
Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate and
brake suddenly.
If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, do not
drive any further: the quick tyre repair kit
Fix & Go automatic cannot guarantee suffi-
cient hold because the tyre is too damaged. Go to
a Lancia Dealership.
You must inform the dealership that the tyre
has been repaired using the quick tyre repair
kit. Hand the instruction brochure over to the
personnel charged with treating the tyre repaired
with the kit.

FOR CHECKING AND RESTORING
PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can be also used solely for restoring pres-
sure. Release the quick coupling and connect directly to
the tyre valve fig. 6; in this way, the cylinder will not be
connected to the compressor and no sealing fluid will be
injected.

REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car may be originally fitted with a space-saver wheel
(for versions/markets, where provided).
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel call for some precautions as listed below.
The space-saver wheel (for versions/mar kets
where provided) is specific to your car, do not
use it on other models, or use the spare wheel
of other models on your car. The space-saver wheel
must only be used in case of emergency. Never use
it for more than strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h. On the space-saver wheel there is an or-
ange label, summarising the main warnings re-
garding space-saver wheel usage restrictions.
Never remove or cover the label. Never ap-
ply a hub cup on a space-saver wheel. The
following information is provided in four
languages on the label: IMPORTANT! FOR TEM-
PORARY USE ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX.! REPLACE
WITH STANDARD WHEEL AS SOON AS POS-
SIBLE. DO NOT COVER THIS LABEL.
If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead
of steel rims) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized
bolts.
Alert other drivers that the car is stationary
in compliance with local regulations: haz-
ard warning lights, warning triangle, etc.
Any passengers on board should leave the car, es-
pecially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should
stay away from on-coming traffic while the wheel
is being changed. If parked on a slope or rough sur-
face, chock the wheels with wedges or other suit-
able devices.

194IN AN EMERGENCY
The driving characteristics of the car may
change when a space-saver wheel is fitted.
Avoid sudden acceleration and braking, sud-
den steering and fast cornering. The total life of
a space-saver wheel is approximately 3000 km,
after which it must be replaced by another wheel of
the same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional
tyre on a rim designed for use as a space-saver
wheel. Have the punctured wheel repaired and re-
placed as soon as possible. Two or more space-
saver wheels should never be used together. Do not
apply grease to the bolt threads before assembly:
they might spontaneously unscrew.The jack can only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provided or
on cars of the same model Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting other car models.
In no case should it be used for repairs under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the
jacked car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than those shown on the label. Snow chains
cannot be fitted to the space-saver wheel. So, if
a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are
needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of
the car and the space-saver wheel should be fitted
to the rear. This way, with two normal front driving
wheels, you can install the snow chains on them,
thus resolving the emergency.
If the hub cap is not installed properly, it
may detach when the vehicle is running.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre.
Regularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pres-
sure, complying with the data in the chapter “6”.
Tool box (versions with Bose HI-FI)
There is a tool box located in the luggage compartment
for versions with Bose HI-FI.
This box contains:
❍screwdriver;
❍tow hook;
❍wheel bolt spanner;
❍wheel bolt access spanner;
❍alloy wheel centring device;
❍jack.

REMOVING THE SUBWOOFER
(versions with Bose HI-FI)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IMPORTANT The following procedure only applies to
cars equipped with Bose HI-FI systems with subwoofer
(for versions/markets, where provided).
SUBWOOFER AND SPACE-SAVER WHEEL
Proceed as follows to remove the Subwoofer:

❍change the wheel as described in this chapter.
After tyre replacement:
❍reposition the container and place the Subwoofer on
top of it, taking care to position it according to the in-
structions on the container (fig. 9) so that the arrow
on the spacer is pointing in the direction of travel;
❍rest cable B-fig. 8 on velcro attachment C to avoid
pinching it. Then tighten locking device A-fig. 8.
Lower the luggage compartment mat.

TAKING OUT THE SPACE-SAVER WHEEL
Please note that:
❍the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❍the jack requires no adjustment;
❍the jack cannot be repaired; if it breaks, it must be re-
placed with a new one of the same type;
❍no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted on
the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❍stop the car where it is not a danger to other road
users and you can replace the wheel safely. The
ground must be flat and sufficiently compact;
❍turn the engine off and engage the handbrake;
❍engage first gear or reverse;
❍lift up the luggage compartment mat using handle A-
fig. 10 (in the presence of a double load platform, first
lift the upper cover and then the luggage compart-
ment mat);
❍unscrew the locking device B-fig. 10;
❍take out the tool box C and place it next to the wheel
to be changed;
❍remove the space saver wheel D-fig. 10;
❍use the provided screwdriver to remove the hub cap,
levering the dedicated opening on the outer edge;

❍in the presence of a double load compartment, lift the
double compartment mat and attach it to the luggage
compartment mat as shown in fig. 10;
❍for cars fitted with alloy wheels, remove the press-fit-
ted hub cap using the screwdriver provided;
❍loosen the fixing bolts for the wheel to be changed by
about one turn using the spanner provided E-fig. 11;
❍turn the jack handle to partially open it;
❍position the jack near the wheel to be replaced at the
reference point
Oon the side member;
❍make sure that the splines F-fig. 12 on the jack are
firmly fitted to tab G on the side member;
fig. 11L0E0082mfig. 12L0E0083m

198IN AN EMERGENCY
❍warn anybody nearby that the car is about to be lifted.
They must stay clear and not touch the car until it is
back on the ground;
❍fit the handle H-fig. 12 into device I of the jack and
lift the car until the wheel is several centimetres off
the ground. When turning the jack handle make sure
that it can turn freely without scraping your hand
against the ground. The moving components of the
jack (screws and joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you become soiled with the lubri-
cating grease, wash it off thoroughly;
❍make sure the contact surfaces on the space-saver
wheel are clean so that the retaining bolts will not
come loose;
❍fit the space-saver wheel, aligning pins T-fig. 13 with
one of the openings A on the wheel;
❍tighten the 4 retaining bolts;
❍turn the jack handle to lower the car and remove the
jack;
❍fully tighten the bolts, passing alternately from one
bolt to the opposite one, following the order illustrated
in fig. 13.
